Welcome

The Hebrew Language and Literature Program enables students to function in the Hebrew language at all levels and in all skills. In terms of both the means and the goal of the program, a special emphasis is given to the personal needs of each student. For this reason we developed a multi-track curriculum that allows students in different levels to select those courses which best interest them, fit their abilities, and correspond to their needs. Students may choose courses that emphasize specific skills, such as reading, writing, speaking or grammar, or courses that are based on content, such as literature, film and theater.

In addition, the program recognizes the needs of the greater community of Hebrew learners in America by providing instruction and guidance on various issues of Hebrew language acquisition. The program offers a Hebrew seminar each summer which enables learners from various backgrounds to benefit from the unique resources of Brandeis. We also offer an opportunity to receive training in Hebrew teaching as part of our Teacher's Certificate Program.
